Nissan and Tan Chong have agreed to work together on improving Nissanâ€™s product lineup and expansion of local production capabilities in Myanmar.

Hiroshi Sanada, director of Nissanâ€™s Asia and Oceania Operations, commented that â€œWeâ€™re very happy that Nissan is set to become an important player in strengthening the automotive industry in Myanmar. Beginning production here serves as a big milestone for our efforts in the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and the rest of Asia and Oceania. We at Nissan hope to build a long-lasting and productive relationship with the people of Myanmar as well as to use our supply chain to bring more work and investments to the region.â€
